For all you know one of the posters may have had a mis-spelling. Something like "Road Safety Weak". That is what they call hitting the nail on the head (Unintentionally). Using schoolchildren for idiotic projects seems to be one of the specialities of the Indian system. I was reading a newsreport about schoolchildren in Orissa fainting after standing in the sun for a few hours. They were waiting for some VIP to arrive.

I totally agree with you. Kids should be allowed to make the choice, better yet parents should be asked for permission before asking the kids to participate in such dangerous activities...<BR/><BR/>priyams...I am certain that such a thing is possible but then what is to be done when authorities willingly put kids thru such dangers??Chayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11105327830137369428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11567635.post-1135173751094539812005-12-21T06:02:00.000-08:002005-12-21T06:02:00.000-08:00Chay..I am glad u blooged about it.
